I Love Xmas continues

Since I'm making a Christmas tablerunner, when it came to designing the patchwork blocks I thought a couple star blocks were appropriate.

I found this block in one of my patchwork books - I'm sure it has a name but the book didn't give it one so I remain clueless.

It was surpisingly easy to make and just to add some interest I used two different red and 2 different grey fabrics per block. I did make a third block but the red was a bit too dark and I decided that these two would do nicely.

Once the stitchery was completed I joined it with the blocks for the centre of the tablerunner and then it was a matter of adding the inside borders.

Fortunately the red fabric from my stash worked really well with the red and grey print fabrics. I've cut them 1" (finished) and will now think about the outside border.

Where to buy my patterns

I have a free monthly newsletter featuring a stitchery block of the month; exclusive specials on my patterns; and an inspiration column which includes a word of encouragement from the Bible.
In 2012 we did the quilt called I am... based on the I am statements Jesus made in the book of John. If you would like more information please email me.
